"Sadly yes." Marcus says as he takes a seat. "Though I only met him once, the Professor was a good man and his loss lessens the world."

"Yes, it really does. From what his son said, lightning struck the same spot it had a few weeks prior. Although the Professor managed to fare comparatively well then, it seems his luck ran out. Poor kid. I know Tyler's a man at this point, but I remember babysitting him when he was little. I can't imagine what he's going through..." She trails off for a moment wistfully before picking up her fork and beginning to eat. "But enough about that. What brings you all to Bromid. None of you are locals, right?" Another attendant, dressed in a gi as well, brings around a pitcher of water, and Erin holds her glass for him, and takes a sip as she looks at you all quizzically.

Holly says only "Yes..." in that soft, oddly creepy manner she always speaks in.

Yeah, I didn't need the reminder.
"I'm an Unovan native. And I'm here to become the Bromid champ with my Porygon Sy- Er right, Porygon two now I suppose."
She looks to the still relatively newly evolved Porygon next to her.
"And then once I'm there, I have something to teach this nation."

"From what I've heard Platinum City possesses some very advanced technology." Marcus says as he eats. "And I've been meaning to travel anyway, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity."

"Jewel is indeed a whiz at all things scientific. That kind of goes over my head, I'm afraid. What about you... umm, Holly?" Erin says, glancing down at piece of paper as she takes a bite. "What brings you here?"

"..." Holly says nothing, just stares in Erin's general direction.

"Oh dear. Is she alright in the head?" Erin turns to Mae and asks, as the attendant busses the table and brings in dessert, brownie a la mode. He places one in front of each of you.

"She's the quiet type."
Mae says this with about as much sarcasm as she can muster.

"Right. Well. This has certainly been an interesting chat. Marcus, I appreciate that you were willing to talk, and hopefully you enjoyed the meal. The rest of you were...present. Right. So, I guess we'll just move right along. Ready for a hike? We got a little bit of a walk ahead of us." She stands, behavior very stilted, before leaving the room and audibly sighing. "Assholes," you hear under her breath, a bit too loudly. "Come on then!" she says, voice resuming its upbeat lilt.

"We have a long journey ahead of us." Marcus says with a shake of his head. "A long long road ahead." He follows Erin rapidly. "So you're a fighting type gym leader right? What made you decide to specialise in the fighting type?"

Mae frowns when Erin let's that last bit slip.
"Yes pardon us for not being that talkative and upbeat when we found out that this morning the innocent man to help us along on our journey was killed by whatever entity though it was fun to rain death energy from the sky. 'My bad' I suppose is the term. And when despite that, I answer your question anyway; I get ignored in favor of someone more 'pleasant' and 'agreeable'. But you want to have a 'real' way to know what I'm about? Then fight me and Sync, and you'll learn."
Mae walks up to Erin and leans in.
"And by the way? You're louder than you think you are."
Mae scoffs, and heads down the hallway, Sync loyally at her side.
"Let's get this over with."

"Fighting type? Oh, did you gather that from the gi? Yeah, fighting is definitely one of my favorites. The gym leaders in Bromid don't really restrict themselves to one type. If you just brought a team of birds or psychic pokemon, I'd be careful. There is more than meets the eye here." She flashes a smile, happy to be talking about herself. "I was actually born in this town. I did the gym circuit, made it to the Elite Four, but was not able to beat them. They're no joke! I've always really wanted to protect the town though, and when the former gym leader retired, I too-" She's talking fast, but Mae's righteous fury cuts her short. She says, thin lipped, "I suppose we will. I'm looking forward to this."

Holly follows silently behind, hood over her face as much as possible while still being able to see.

Marcus sighs and shakes his head, mentally debating the virtues of having Jupiter electrocute his fellows until they talked civilly before dismissing the possibility.
